I avoided a jaywalking ticket by the skin of my teeth this morning.

Posted by Reagen (aka Reagen) Jul 17 '09, 09:43

I had forgotten to pay for parking and turned back to the meter while my wife went across. When I turned back (with the sun in my eyes, so difficult to see), I took one step across and at the last second noticed that the two women standing at the curb on the other side had what looked like badges. Meanwhile my wife is giving me the kill sign. I did a pivot worthy of the Bolshoi and tried not to make eye contact for the rest of the light, but I was breaking down a little in laughter.
As I'm walking across when the light turned she looked over at me as laughed "Good call!"

You slowed down just enough so that the little old woman would reach the curb - and the cop - before you? -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 09:44 3
- P.S. Jaywalking is not illegal in Oregon - statewide. But you can get a ticket for obstructing traffic. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 17, 09:45 1
  - and I think Reagen was not in danger of a jaywalking ticket but of one for going against a red light -- nm - zork Jul 17, 09:46
- what little old woman? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 09:45
